Pripyat, Ukraine

After the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown the city of Pripyat became a ghost town overnight. 50,000 residents were ordered by the government to leave their homes and flee to a safer non-radiation flooded area.

High radiation levels have forced the town to remain abandoned since 1986.

The area, which will be abandoned for thousands of more years, is the perfect example of what a post-apocalyptic world could end up looking like.
